Lyrics:

I`m gon` get up in the mornin`, I believe I`ll dust my broom
I`m gon` get up in the mornin`, I believe I`ll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin`, girlfriend, can`t get my room

I`m gon` write a letter, telephone every town I know
I`m gon` write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I can`t find her in West Helena, she must be in East Monroe I know

I don`t want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
I don`t want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
She`s a no good doney, they shouldn`t `low her on the street

I believe, I believe I`ll go back home
I believe, I believe I`ll go back home
You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can`t when I go home

And I`m gettin` up in the mornin`, I believe I`ll dust my broom
I`m gettin` up in the mornin`, I believe I`ll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin`, girlfriend, can`t get my room

I`m `on` call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
I`m `on` call up Chiney, see is my good gal over there
If I can`t find her on Philippine`s Island, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere
